Internet Randomly Dropping.

I use my internet for gaming purpose's mostly, and sadly Fio's is not offered in my area or I would upgraded to it, What seems to happen throughout the day and normally at the same exact time is, my internet will lose connection with Skype, My games, any other services that are third party, my ping will shoot up super high and I will "Lag" out of it, but my internet browsers all work perfectly fine, they don't disconnect or lag at all, and i can't seem to figure out why it is doing this, and it all started when I got their supposively "best modem to date".

Sorry to hear about the problems you are having with the service. Have you tried doing a reset of the modem?It may be a customized setting of the router causing troubles. Please let us know if further assistance is needed.

Spinning wheel in App Store & Randomly dropping WiFi

Hi there,
I'm having various problems with my iPad 2 16gb WiFi and searching various forums hasn't helped me find a resolution, so I'm hoping that someone here may have experienced the problem or maybe able to offer a solution.
I'm pretty new to Apple products, having recently moved to an iPhone 4 and an iPad 2 from similar devices with another well known brand of OS, so I'm not sure if something is wrong or if this is normal behaviour.
Symptoms
When connected to WiFi and trying to browse the app store, I often get a 'spinning wheel' and nothing seems to load, I've even left the iPad for over 10 minutes and still nothing happens. I can try and search, look at featured apps, but I don't get a connection. The iPad is definitely connected to WiFi as I can browse in Safari without any issues. The only way I can get around this problem is to hold the power and home button down to reset the device, sometimes this takes 2 or 3 attempts. My iPhone4 doesn't have this problem and it's sat on the same wireless LAN as the iPAD. I've tried turning off WiFI and turning it back on, but that doesn't resolve the issue, a reset is the only way to gain access to the App store again.
Another strange problem I get is that the WiFi connection on the iPad will just randomly drop out, I'll happily be browsing away and it will just disconnect leaving me with no internet connection. It reconnects after a few minutes, but occasionally I have to reboot the device to get it to connect again. My iPhone4 and other devices don't suffer this problem.
I thought this might be an issue with my router, but I've reproduced this problem on 3 different wireless networks now all with different brands of routers.
I've tried restoring the device to factory settings, upgrading the firmware on my router, rebooting the router, tested on multiple wireless LANs and the problem just won't go away, it's getting quite frustrating really. It can happen after 5 minutes, or 5 hours, there doesn't seem to be any pattern to it.
Sorry for the long post, but if anyone has any suggestions or can offer any explanation as to why this is happening I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks
James

OK well I tried your suggestion in various ways...
I tried downgrading to WEP from WPA...
End result was the same problem.
I turned off security altogether and still got the same results, so it doesn't appear that the method of encryption has any effect on the behaviour.
Any other suggestions? Thanks for the help by the way

Wireless internet keeps dropping, its driving me crazy

Ok here is the story many might have heard before. My macbook pro will randomly drop the internet connection. it will still show full bars of service but wont go anywhere. I use the latest version of firefox and the issue pops up with safari also. It happens at home and anywhere i use the internet. I was at a coffee shop and it drops randomly, at my dads house so the same thing. Now if I use my pc in any of these places the internet is flawless never drops. I want to retire my pc but am forced to use it since I can't get the internet to work properly. I have sent out the macbook pro under applecare and they said they found the problem and replaced the airport on it. I got it home worked great for awhile and now the problem is back at its regular frequency. It's driving me crazy as I even have an old macbook in the house and it works great. Does anyone have a solution as I'm ripping my hair out and I don't wanna have to send my macbook pro out again. Please help!

Your personal details show that you are using 10.2.x - is this correct, if not then update your personal details? If you are using 10.5.x then you can try these simple maintenance procedures:
Repair Permissions - /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app. Start Disk Utility, select your HD and click on Repair Permissions. When finished, quit Disk Utility and then restart your computer.
Reset PRAM - hold down Option-Command-P-R keys when starting until you hear the startup chime a 2nd time.
Safe Mode Startup - hold down the Shift-key at startup until you see the login screen. When logged-in, then go to System Preferences/Network/AirPort
- click on the 'Network Name:' roll-button, select 'Join Other Network...', enter 'Network Name and select the security type you are using, and finally, enter your Password and click 'Join'.
- click on 'Advanced', TCP/IP and confirm that 'Configure IPv4:' is set to 'Using DHCP', click 'OK'.
- click the 'Apply' button and exit System Preferences.
Also, look in System Preferences/Accounts/Login Items. With a clean system you will see AirPort Base Station Agent and iTunesHelper in here. Other users have found RealPlayer Updater in here and removed it (- sign), and this stopped the network drops after restarting.
These Login Items are located at ~/Library/LaunchAgents/. If you don't want to lose your login items then move them to the Desktop and archive them. Then delete the originals - restart and see if it helps.

BT HomeHub2 Randomly Dropping Devices

So, we've been using BT broadband for a good few years now, and an interesting problem keeps cropping up. Occasionally the router will refuse to allow a particular device to connect to it via wireless for a period of time (somewhere between a few minutes and a few hours). After this time, the router continues to work as though nothing at all had happened, with nothing out of the ordinary appearing in the event log, and the other devices don't show any connection problems whilst this is happening. Using the automatic setup CD just makes things worse, since when it fails to connect to the router we specify, it instead connects to the nearest BTOpenZone hotspot, then claims to be working when it is still impossible to connect to our own router.
The router still shows up in the wireless network list, and attempting to connect to it doesn't return any error messages, the process just halts after about a minute of "waiting for the wireless network". The first time we had this problem, we rang up the BT helpline who gave us some slightly nonsensical answer about the HomeHub only being able to accept connections from a maximum of three devices at any one time, so rather than asking them again to get exactly the same fairly useless answer, I'm putting the question here. Why does the HomeHub2 randomly drop people from the network, and how do we stop it?

Well, I assumed that the disk would just attempt to connect me to the wireless and nothing more, and when you're trying to fix a problem that nobody else believes exists, you'll try pretty much anything.
The issue, though, is not with connecting from the hub to the internet. The hub never has any major problems with that (other than occasionally deciding that 40% packet loss is the way to go). The issue is that it will drop one of our computers from its network at random, but do nothing to any of the others, and then refuse to allow that one computer to reconnect to it.

PS2 Online & Random Drops

Hey everyone, hopefully we can finally fix this problem as it has been plauging my and my roommate for a little bit now.
We use a Linksys WRT54G Wireless Router.
This is our current Internet/Gaming setup:
PC: Wired
Xbox 360: WiredPS2: Wired
PS3: Wireless
Laptop: Wireless
Now, the PC, PS3, Laptop are always connected. My roommates Xbox 360 and PS2 switch ethrtnet ports and uses the same cable whenever he wants to play one or the other online.
Heres the problem:
Whenever we use the PS2 online to play (Specifically NCAA Football), we SOMETIMES get random drops. This does not happen every use, but it seems to happen maybe once a week, or once every two weeks, and then sometimes frequently, it is very random.
We then shutdown my roommates laptop, which is running Windows Vista, and that seemed to stop a lot of the constant drops. Something about Vista + Linksys Router + Game servers I read somewhere, did not like each other and caused problems.
Even after we did that, we are still getting random drops, not as many, and it's not good because the games are ranked, and my roommate gets the automatic loss for it.
This is what happens when we get dropped:
First the PS2 goes down, always this is the FIRST thing, then my PS3 usually goes down, then I have no internet on my PC, and that all lasts for about a minute, then everything kicks back online and is working properly again.
We have a Static IP on the PS2, as well as enabling the DMZ on the Linksys router to the PS2's static IP to allow everything to go in and come out of the PS2 for gaming.
Every setting I have checked on the router, looks good, both on the externally and internally.
Our connection speed and connectivity with other users is always very good.
We just get a little slow down on the PS2, then it drops, followed by everything else for about a minute, then it kicks back online. We have looked at numerous forums, bought a different router (same problem), rearranged our setup, shorter ethernet cable, etc., just almost EVERYTHING we can think of.
One time we went about 70 games without a disconnect, then after that we got 2 the same night, then it would go two weeks without one.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance for answers, I'll add any more additional information if asked.

Have you tried to upgrade the firmware of your Router. It seems that it might be the problem with your Routers Firmware. Try to upgrade the firmware of your Router and i think this might solve your problem..
Go to website linksysbycisco.com/downloads.........insert model no of your router in serach tab......select proper version of your router........download the firmware file......save that file on desktop...
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Now reset your router :
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...

Slow internet speed/ dropping internet

I am on the Bt Ifinity 2, last year at summer time (8/10/2014) every thing was fine 59 mb/s down 19.55 mb/s up. bettween then and the 11/11/2014 speeds fell to 13.8mb/s down 10.24mb/s up. (mediafire link for page download for internet speeds http://www.mediafire.com/download/24vs7ra8pyl09qc/bt+stats.rar )
during this time untill the 19/11/2014 the internet would just drop randomly, 3,5,6 times a day commonly (not shown on the graph for due to no internet). the internet droped and the router was not connected to the internet shown by the ui in 192.168.1.254. internet speed is lower then the what was on the speed test so would strugle to steam youtube videos.
i thought that this was a throtling thing origionaly, but i tryed off peak time 1-4 AM the connection dropped slow speeds
we called a bt enginer out for the 19/11/2014 we a router replacement and some line was changed there was no internet dropping untill reasontly speeds increased slightly.
8/1/2015 I was downloading addons for battlefeild on my playstaion when the internet started dropping again the internet speed on speedtest.net showed a resonable speed of 30mb/s down 1.97mb/s up which should be fine for content consumption. well thats what i thought, youtube videos in 240p would not play.
in my oppinion it looks like bt has being throtiling my traffic, but i know bt only "manages p2p taffic during peak times"
any one know whats wrong, by the way there is know other users on the network at the time of the speed tests
Thanks for reading

Next time your speeds are bad, or right now if they are now, please try this:
In order to rule out the Homehub as potentially being the device responsible for your speed loss, you can connect the Openreach modem directly to the PC and see if the speed improves.
To do that follow these steps:
Step 1: Remove the homehub from the modem cable
Step2: Connect your pc/laptop to the modem via the cable instead
Step3: Open network and sharing centre on windows and click set up a new connection or network
Step4: Connect to the internet then click make a new connection Broadband PPPoE
Step5: Username [email protected] and the password as BT
Step6: connect, If it doesn't,keep pressing try again until it does.
However, please note that this will stop any other access apart from the PC

If not, I'll try again

ATV3 Home Sharing Randomly Dropping

I've had an Apple TV 3 for about a week now. I really like it but...two days ago, it began randomly dropping home sharing with my MacBook Pro at random times. I've been on calls with phone support twice to correct the problem (with two different solutions). And then this morning, it decided, while I was watching something, that I didn't have Home Sharing on.
I really don't understand what is going on. I'm almost religious about keeping my software up to date, so I'm running the most recent versions of iTunes, OSX Lion, and the Apple TV software.
Any suggestions for a lasting fix? Because I really don't have the time or patience to keep running around resting the router, MacBook, and the ATV (Including reinputting all of passwords for the wifi network, iTunes, etc.)
(Oh, and as I was typing this, it randomly dropped while I was watching something I had running on the ATV coming from my iPhone 4)

Well add me to the list of frustrated ATV3 owners. I have 10 ATV3s on a large local network all hard wired and connects to server to share Movies and Music. The ATV will lose connection with server often and iTunes reset will fix it most of the time, but have a couple ATVS that just can't connect to server. Internet access works perfect on all units it's the Home Sharing that fails. Completely unreliable. Called Apple support and they said that they are aware of the problem and are not sure why it started having troubles. Older iTunes worked fine until a recent update. The Apple name is getting a bad rap now, and as an AV installer, I can't recommend products that fail to work. Pretty simple, Apple needs to step up and spend the cash on fixing this problem. Not sure why we all have to resort to a discussion forum.

Random Dropping and POOR CUSTOMER SUPPORT

So I've had this issue for about 2 years. Yeah, 2 years.
We've had countless calls with BT, countless emails etc. Nothing is working!
Whenever I call the BT centres now, I refuse to do these pointless tests, as they provide no accurate result, I also cannot explain what the situation is fully to them, because they don't understand me.
The internet will randomly drop once or so every five minutes, sometimes it'll be a full internet drop, or sometimes it'll be heavy packet loss. It happens on all devices, wired and wireless, desktop pc's to phones.
We've been given discounts on our packages, however they are useless discounts as we are still having major troubles connecting to the internet.
We've recently noticed a new occurrence, whenever our internet drops, we also lose connection to the hub settings manager. Bare in mind this happens on all devices at the same time. Lights on the hub remain blue, and the speeds on our hub settings page will also remain at 448kbps up and 7mbps down.
I'm really losing the remaining patience I have fast, the call centres don't have a clue what they're doing, today I was talking to the floor manager who even booted me offline to do a test without my approval, which I find unacceptable.
I also find it unacceptable that there is no English call centre, as, not being rude, but it's really hard to understand the foreign call centres, and they find it hard to understand you as well.
So, does anyone here have any resolutions to the internet drops, as we're out of ideas.
(bt claim that the line from the exchange to my hub is *totally* fine)

welcome to the BT community forum where customers help customers and only BT employees are the forum mods
I understand your reluctance to do the test requested by CS but in order for the forum members to help please can you post the adsl stats from your router you may need to 'show detail' to get all stats (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser and navigate to adsl or if HH4/5 then go to troubleshooting then logs and you are looking for 2 line together when hub last connected to internet and they will show your connection speed and noise margin or if netgear enter 192.168.0.1). Then run btspeedtester (MAC users may have problems). when first test completes then run diagnostic test and post the results ( do not reset the router).
which hub do you have?
are you connected directly via a filter to the NTE5 master or test socket or to somewhere else? Is the master the only phone socket in your home?
Have you tried the quiet line test? - dial 17070 option 2 - should hear nothing - best done with a corded phone. if cordless phone you may hear a 'dull hum' which is normal

MacBook Pro randomly drops Ethernet connection.

I use my new MacBook Pro both connected wirelessly and via Ethernet to my home network. My network is connected to ADSL via a firewall/gateway router. I have a Powerbook G4 and a WinXP machine running on this same network (wirelessly and wired) without any issues.
For some reason my new MacBook Pro, however, will randomly drop off the network and will often require a reboot to reacquire a DHCP address. At first, I noticed this when transferring large amounts of data to the laptop across the network (retiring my XP machine). I thought I may have a bad cable or bad port on my hub so I switched both. After a couple more transfers, however, the problem seems to have returned.
Mid transfer, the MBP will lose connectivity to the DHCP server and assign itself a 169 address. I am unable to reacquire a 192 address from DHCP and have to restart the MBP to get back on the network.
Needless to say, this is very annoying and not at all what I expected with my new MBP.
Any thoughts appreciated as I am at whits end on this one.

I am having a similar issue. I have not yet tested with standard Ethernet, only Wireless using WPA2.
I have 3 Macs (iBook G4, PowerMac G5, and MBP (Core 2 Duo) all connecting a private wireless network consisting of a Airport Extreme and an Airport Express using WDS. All computers and basestations are running the latest versions of their respective software (10.4.8, V5.7, V6.3)
ONLY the MBP has the following problems: dropping the connection, failing to reconnect after sleep, and failing to obtain an IP address via DHCP after connecting.
The signal power reported by both the menu-bar widget and the Internet Connect application varries continually on the MBP, even though it is sitting 2 feet from the Airport Extreme basestation. Sometimes full strength, sometimes only two bars.
I have removed all preferred networks from the Network system preferences and re-added only my network. I have also removed the passwords for the routers from my keychain.
The MBP will often-times simply drop it's connection. When it does that, it will not automatically reconnect to my network. If I put the MBP to sleep it often-times will not reconnect when it awakes either. Sometimes it does, but I cannot decern a pattern. If it does automatically reconnect it will usually not obtain an IP address from the basestation.
Simply toggeling the MBP's Airport off and then on will almost always get it to find my network and automatically connect. Even if it does connect to the network, it doesn't always obtain an IP address via DHCP. Again, if I simply toggel the MBP's Airport off and on then it will usually connect and obtain an real IP address.
All of these things happen within two feet of the basestation, as well as more than 20 feet away. Both other Macs continue working just fine even while the MBP is having problems.
This is not an issue with the basestations or my configuration. It must be a problem with the drivers for the Airport card in the MBP.

Internet Connection drops when incoming telephone ...

On 14th December 2011 during a period of very high winds and heavy rain an incoming telephone call caused the internet connection to drop and it eventually restored itself after about 2 hours. When I answer a call the internet connection drops after about 30 seconds and then reconnects after about a further 40 seconds. All incoming local calls cause the internet connection to drop. As far as I can tell incoming calls from other exchanges seem to be OK. Incoming calls from mobile phones sometimes cause the internet connection to drop. The line is unaffected by outgoing telephone calls. I have a BT HomeHub 2B plugged into an upstairs telephone socket and connected by ethernet to my PC. I have another telephone socket downstairs, each socket is fitted with a filter. I have have tried every combination of my two standard telephones and 4 filters in each socket and every local call causes the internet connection to drop and reconnect. I think it very unlikely that both phones and 4 filters have become faulty at the exactly the same time. I have connected the Home Hub and telephone with a filter to the test socket and asked a friend on the local exchange to call me and the internet connection dropped and reconnected as before. Since moving to this house 2 years ago I have had four previous interruptions to the broadband service all of which were caused by problems probably at the exchange. The last one took 8 days to correct after countless calls to the "Help Line". Their fall back position is always to assume that there is no problem with the BT line. So I am not even going to try to explain this over the telephone. This is the information on the BT Home Hub Event Log, it is typical for every occurrence of the problem. Dec 26 11:42:42 2011 ERR 2011-12-26T11:42:42Z cwmp: mt_cwmp: session error: Could not resolve host Dec 26 11:43:19 2011 (1035438.010000) RTNL: Received ERROR reply 'No such process' for message type 0x19 Is this a problem with the Homehub, the line, or at the exchange?

not sure I read your post correctly but are you saying if someone from another exchange phones then the broadband is ok and it only drops if someone from your own exchange phones?
if the possible sollution from chris6273 does not work, and you have already tried the test socket then I would contact the mods for assistance http://bt.custhelp.com/app/contact_email/c/4951
the mods can take up to 3 days to reply

Internet connection drops with new HH4....

I recently signed up to a new deal with BT and had to pay for my HH4. I have it all connected up the exact same way as my HH3. I am receiving a faster connection now but am now getting VERY frequent internet connection drops....
My PC is wired to the HH so NOT a wireless issue. I have checked ALL my microfilters and seem to be working. Nothing within my home has changed apart from the homehub. I used to be connectiong at around 6.5Mb, I am now connecting between 7.5 and 8Mb....
9 times out of 10 the connection drops when I receive an incoming call.... but not always. I can make outgoing calls with ZERO issues....

Shand359tbe wrote:
I forgot to state also that I since removed the HH4 and put my old trusty HH3 back into use......... it does the EXACT same thing now.........
BT engineer was out to fix the line in February of this year. A new main box was fitted (which I was billed for) and he also fitted an iplate to the box to allow the hub to be connected without the need for a filter since they are built in.......
an Iplate will not do away with any filters and they will be required on all sockets - unless you mean a filtered faceplate not iplate - 2 sockets 1 adls and 1 phone

I am unable to set up my new Time Capsule with my BT Home Hub - every time i connect the ethernet cable from Wan port to Home Hub, the internet signal drops

Hi there -
I've just purchased a new Time Capsule, and would like to set up a small home network with my Laptop, iMac and wireless printer. I'm following the first steps, but as soon as I connect an ethernet cable between the WAN port of the TC and the ethernet port of the HH, my BT internet connection drops out and I have to restart the HH. Upon which point it drops out again. The airport utility can see my TC, and gets as far as me typing in the new network name and setting up a password, but then it can't quite get through to the next stage. All the time it's just flashing amber.
Please help!

Setup the TC in bridge mode before you cannot it to the HH.
Simply do the setup fully in isolation. And do it by ethernet.
Setup wireless to create a wireless network.
You can use either same SSID =Wireless name as the HH .. same security same password.
Or use a different name and setup.. totally up to you.
Update the TC and then plug it into the HH by ethernet.

My Internet Connection Dropping Issues...

I too am having the occasional Internet connection dropping issues. Phone and TV continue to work.
Since I had Fios installed last November I am on my third ONT and 2nd router. When I called in my latest drop yesterday the call center person told me I had a hardware issue because my computer had a valid IP address assigned. I tried to teach her something about DHCP but she would not listen to me. I asked her to please reboot the ONT and she refused because "nothing was indicating a problem with it". Whatever...
Each time the Internet goes out the router acts fat and happy. I have full green on WAN Coax, and strangely enough, a flashing green Internet activity indicator. Logging into the router shows that I am MOCA connected and assigned a WAN IP address. But I can't get out past the router at all. On the event that led to me getting a replacement router the lady said she could talk to the ONT just fine, but not the router. We reset the router and ONT port numerous times and the connection finally came back up.
I am not sure of the protocol between the ONT and router, but I think the ONT is keeping enough signal going to make the router "think" its happy, but then the ONT is not passing packets at some point. After yesterdays call and the refusal to reset the ONT I just hung up on her and reset it myself. Of course everything started working just fine...like I thought it would.
So what is the issue here? Is MOCA a mess? Is an Ethernet connection to the ONT better? I am utterly disgusted with this miserable system and can't afford to continue having these outages.
I should also add the other wonderful features I have seen. When I tried to powercycle the *new* router yesterday it decided to dump its entire config including my port forwarding. Nice... And I have given up using wireless because if I set the router for WPA it locks up so hard that it takes a master reset to get going again.
Anyone have some advice on getting this system stable?

I would try using a non-verizon router. I used the Netgear router and it fixed my problem. The Verizon router seem to be pieces of garbage and they over-hear.

Firefox 3.5 and up randomly drop connections

Greetings! The problem I'm having is: Every time I've tried to install and use Firefox 3.5 and up, as I'm browsing the web and I go to, say, click on a link, Firefox will randomly "drop" the connection. It'll pause for 10-15 seconds, then pop up a generic "cannot find server" message. I then go to reload the page, and for another 10-15 seconds it won't even attempt a connection -- it'll just instant-reload with the same generic "cannot find server" message. After that, it will mysteriously be able to connect just fine... for about 2-5 minutes. The problem repeats... over and over...
I should mention that I constantly have a "ping www.rr.com" window open in the background, and even when Firefox is "unable to connect", the ping window shows my connection is just fine. All of my other programs are able to connect just fine as well -- only Firefox 3.5+ or programs based off of Firefox 3.5+ (SeaMonkey 2.x) have this problem.
Thinking it might be an addon problem, I've completely uninstalled (even using Revo Uninstaller) and reinstalled Firefox 3.5+, and even with absolutely no extensions installed, it still randomly drops connections.
This problem also happens on my netbook PC, again with a fresh Firefox install (even on a fresh Windows format + install) and a solid ISP connection.
I can confirm encountering this problem with Firefox 3.5.4, 3.5.5, 3.6.6, and even with SeaMonkey 2.0.3 and 2.0.5. On the other hand, Firefox versions 2.0.0.20 and SeaMonkey 1.1.18 are NOT affected by this problem.
I hope this problem can be resolved soon, since sites like Youtube are starting to really dislike Firefox 2.0, and I'd like to use up-to-date browser extensions. :(
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Every time I've tried to use Firefox 3.5 and above

Wireless internet connection drops on battery

I've had my MacBook for 10 months or so now, and just recently it's started acting peculiarly. When it's on battery, the internet will drop out after 10-15 minutes of being online. Simply disabling the airport and re-enabling it will make it work for another 10-15 minutes. It only happens on battery, not when it's plugged in. I've tried all the usual fixes (updates, take out battery and hold power switch, etc.), but nothing seems to stop the problem.
Any ideas?

This is a fairly common complaint with 10.4.10.

Internet Randomly Dropping.
